If you're shooting into the sun, you might even need to add an ND filter. But he wasn't shooting into the sun, and he was next to the stage shooting at a fairly wide angle. If you honestly don't think 1/8000 is overkill that's fine. On the surface it doesn't make sense to me, but maybe it does come down to how powerful the sensor is. Of course it's overkill. It's the video equivalent of shooting a political rally at something like 240fps. It would be completely unnecessary.

Oh that was a joke, you just didn't get it. Unite!

What if one of the cameras with those fancy big lenses was a second gun???? @Toastrel better have a good alibi for where he was on 7/13 around 6 pm.

July 18, 20241 yr @Bill To reframe this in another way to better help you understand why you're making the same argument about intent of the photographer that the conspiracy theorists are... If you know you're shooting an event that has high elements of motion, say for example, an outdoor sporting event, you're gonna set the shutter speed as high as it can go, right? Well then, once you do that per your desired intent, what do you need to do with your aperture setting?

If you're shooting facing the sun, you might even need to add an ND filter. But he wasn't shooting into the sun, and he was next to the stage shooting at a fairly wide angle.

JFC, you moron, if you’re shooting into the GD sun you actually need to make your exposure brighter and slow the shutter speed because your subject is backlit, otherwise their face is going to be a shadowy mess. FFS man just stfu about it because you’re reading like you’re Uncle Bob with a DSLR Also, the photographer who took it swapped to Sony awhile back. Known for their very good sensors with low noise at high ISO. I’m assuming he’s using an a7 variant of some kind, which has a max shutter speed of around 1/2000, not Fn 1/8000. If it was 1/8000 it would have practically freeze framed the bullet.

At a high enough shutter speed you actually bend the space time continuum. That's how trump was able to dodge the bullet matrix style. Trust me, and theoretical physicist. Also we've already established emb's most likely culprit: I'm not saying it's him. I'm just asking questions.

It was 1/8000 and the camera is an a1. An ND filter is going to lower the exposure. The opposite of what you need when, you need to, you know, raise the exposure level because your subject is backlit. also, just read back saw your post with the exif data. Look at the f/ stop. So, he was going for a thin DOF (probably about 2ish feet given the lens, sensor size, and his probable distance), and because the aperture was WIDE OPEN, what needed to happen to the shutter speed to offset a wide open aperture?

We paid good money for the iQ8 micro inverters which allow for a local grid (I.E., you can use your panels during an outage during the day). Problem is.... f'n things didn't kick in. So by about 5 PM yesterday our battery was completely drained when we SHOULD have been recharging it during the day and blasting the AC. If I was home I could have worked with the solar company to triage the problem. You gotta admit that it's pretty hilarious, given your schtick with the whole solar powered thing over the past 2 years, that your house has been without power for 2 days
